Port of the former kde-3 version.

Make sure you have OpenGL libs/headers installed. (and of course Qt/Kde3.2)

Download, compile and install...
Go to the Control Panel and choose KGLWaterSaver, set it up to use your favourite Image or Desktop and fit the performance of your computer.
(Takes 10% CPU-Time at my Duron 700 / GeForce FX 5700 at: water_res of 128x128, 24 WaterCalcs, 64ms Delay Realtime)
(config dialog will probably [hopefully :] be more intuitive in following versions)

Hope you enjoy putting your desktop under water :)

Re: Re: Re: KDE4

I was having the same problem. Added "#include <QPainter>" to the preprocessor section of src/kglwatersaver4.cpp Made it through "make" and "make install" but it's not showing up in my list of screensavers...

Re: Re: Re: Re: KDE4

I had forgotten about it for awhile, but I tried again recently and got a "cmake: not found" error from ./configure instead.
So from a forum suggestion I searched for KDE devel packages through my "package manager" - this solved that issue, and then make and install worked just fine.
Great screen-saver!
Sorry can't help, but I'd say it's to do with some other package missing.

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
